Hi All,
I have just logged on, and seen this thread.
Thanks for all the comments and thoughts.
To clarify, this event was NOT hosted by, or funded by the "Truth about the Truth" documentary crew and Lloyd Evans. Neither was it a money making venture for Lloyd Evans.
This event was something Sherrie (unstuck here on the forum) and I arranged to coincide with the visit of a large group of international ex-jw activists. This variety of wonderful people all contribute to our greater community and help people reclaim their lives and live free of the FOG (Fear Obligation Guilt) that the JW religion has previously held us in.
We loved being able to extend the invitation to as many as possible. In fact, we blew out our numbers considerably in order to include many more - even at the very last minute.
Knowing that we could not literally have everyone there, we were able to have it livestreamed and later uploaded to the John Cedars channel so that all can share in it.
Please feel free to watch the entire program, and notice the wide variety of ones who spoke. Note their positivity and focus on showing unconditional love free of judgement.
It was indeed a positive day, that has accomplished its purpose to upbuild all, and empower everyone to live their best life. It was not about making people clones of one another, but rather to celebrate the joy of being individuals in our own right.
As one of our fellow loved forum members used to say here often too, the day emphasised that "the best revenge is to live a happy and successful life"
Also, that as we grow, we are determined to be "Better - not Bitter."
Thanks for supporting the efforts of all who were there, and all around the world who are in this journey together.
